I believe it will be possible to purchase an adapter, so I am looking into that.
This weekend I dismantled and serviced 4 of the 6 injectors for my deuce. It would be useful if there was a carbon solvent available.
The manual suggests using "P-D-680, DRY CLEANING AND DEGREASING SOLVENT as a...
Since filter cups are not coming my way, it occurred to me that the corroded filter cups could be made serviceable by installing a flat seal with a washer under each of the filter cups. I will try it and see how it works, before reporting back.
I forgot to mention that the adapter needed for testing the deuce injectors is 1/2" fine thread rh, with the threads on the outside of the nut. The guy who provides a very nice adapter kit for the stock Bosh injector pop tester on eBay said,
I plan to order it ASAP, and will let you all know...
This forum is big, so I am not sure if this has been discussed yet. But, I will just start this thread and hope it is a new topic.
My M756a2 stopped firing 2.2 years ago, and I have been trying to track down its problem since. The first thing I did was replace all of the filters, which did...
Last weekend I found my pop tester above did not work. I expect that either they need to be used regularly, or these cheap pop testers from India do not last long, because I only used in about 5 times in 5 years.
This kit, above, has adapters for just about every diesel engine in use since...
Another thing we need to track down for servicing our injectors is a shim kit to adjust their pop pressure. Perhaps someone here knows where we can get a shim kit?
Making your own might work out well, but a pop tester can be bought on eBay for $110, http://www.ebay.com/itm/Diesel-Injector-Nozzle-Pop-Tester-with-0-600-BAR-0-8000-PSI-Dual-Scale-Gauge-/302352587887?epid=1756604091&hash=item46659e5c6f:g:EwUAAOSwiQ9ZRPs1.
The adapter kit that will work for the...
I pulled my injectors and cleaned them up in an ultra-sonic cleaner. Now I need to locate an adapter so that I can use my Baush pop tester on these deuce injectors. Does any one know of such?
I first settle my waste oil blends for a month, then I am careful to separate the thin settled blend from the sediments on the bottom, then I use both filters and a PA biodiesel centrifuge. I have been running the same engine on waste oil blends for over 10 years.
It sounds like pretty good waste diesel fuel. It just so happens that gasoline is an excellent biocide, and it forces water out of solution, so if you added fresh gasoline at only 5%, preferably to the bottom of your storage tank, before adding the waste, or old, diesel fuel, then the gasoline...
I suppose doing so would be instructive, but I figured that they would not be within spec, and 4 of them had a small amount of coke on them, so I figured that I would not waist my time, and just clean them first.
I searched the archive for "servicing deuce injectors," but found no thread on the subject. Since I am in the middle of servicing my deuce injectors, and I have a few questions, then I thought I would start a thread on the subject, and hopefully someone will answer my questions, and/or I will...
I browsed Ambac's website for the seal kit. I found this link on their web site. Is this the gasket kit for the "PSB-6A" Bosch injection pump? And, presumably, the "PSB-6A" Bosch injection pump is the pump that you are discussing here rebuilding for the Deuce?
The problem with WMO as a fuel is it tends to be saturated with carbonb from blow-by, and it happens to be mostly less than 1 micron in size; therefore, blending it with a solvent to thin it out, such as diesel fuel, then either leaving it to settle for 1 month, or centrafuging it several times...
Interesting concept, tobyS. Alcohol becomes problematic in an engine that was designed before 1996, when alcohol first showed up as a fuel additive; because the seals and hoses that were used before that can only handle alcohols at 3% or less in the blend.
My interest is in blending the light...
It seems reasonable to me to consider that those who invest in petroleum are likely to invest in automobile manufacturing; to the point that they would influence the auto-maker to make sure their engines only run on petroleum distillates, and not on alternative fuels.
